March 13th, 1989 is the birth date of one of the most powerful inventions of our time. Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the foundation for the Internet layer that has become the World Wide Web. The last 20 years of the Internet has changed everything from how we shop, communicate, bank and make many decisions about our lives. From this invention some of the most powerful companies have been born, from Google and Yahoo! to Salesforce.com.

What will the next 20 years bring? Will the Internet continue to change every aspect of our life or has it reached its saturation point? Is this the year the Semantic Web becomes a reality? For more information about what the Semantic Web is, check out this interview with Sir Tim Berners-Lee http://tinyurl.com/semweb
